Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a medium-sized tree with high vigor and slightly drooping shoots. The crown branches well and is easy to maintain. Harvesting takes place in October, approximately two weeks later than the variety «Topaz».

Fruits are of medium size, have characteristic russeting on the skin and a bright red blush. The flesh is firm, juicy, with a distinct aroma and acidity. The variety has good keeping quality, retaining consumer qualities until March.

The plant has high resistance to scab, powdery mildew and Marssonina, which minimizes the need for chemical treatments. At the same time, the variety is sensitive to fire blight.
